Lyrics
They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see Oh-a oh-a I met your children Oh-a oh-a What did you tell them? Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-a-a-a oh And now we meet in an abandoned studio We hear the playback and it seems so long ago And you remember the jingles used to go Oh-a oh-a You were the first one Oh-a oh-a You are the last one Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car We can't rewind, we've gone too far Oh-a-aho oh Oh-a-aho oh
